Tammy, if you don't know what the issue is about, please do not give any instructions


Bob it has nothing to do with our software: https://www.google.com/...;espv=2&ie=UTF-8

You will need to contact your hosting provider to resolve the issue. 

Do you have suexec module enabled on your server?

Ross. Just a suggestion.  I am also with Arvixe,  and had users staying online until they changed the cron to the direct path. Do you think Bob could be experiencing the same issue?

Bob if your users staying online, that means the cron jobs are not properly configured. Please check this tutorial: 

https://docs.oxwall.org/install:cron

if none of the commands work, contact support team of Arvixe to assist you in cron configuration. 


As to the error-ock file /home/virtfs/_lock/7935 created by pid 32343 was not removed before the process died it has nothing to do with the software, it's something wrong on the server side as the lock file cannot be removed.

I talked to Arvixe on the phone. The guy didn't know what that error was or how to fix it.

The site didn't have any thing wrong until I updated it to 1.7.4 and you are right it has nothing to do with the software I have been using oxwall for the past 3 years with no problems So if Arvixe can't fix this I will have to move the site to another server Looking for that now

Bob, Arvixe is one of our recommended hosting providers if the error won't be fixed on their side, please let me know.

That means the cron jobs are not properly configured, contact their support team to assist you in cron configuration. I recommend to use command with direct route to the cron.php file, check the Run cron locally section in the tutorial: https://docs.oxwall.org/install:cron
